Hello
We have a service for our customers that allows them to test their site
before they point their DNS to our servers. It works like this: we
configure their websites in our backend servers as usual, and we create
an entry in a zone we own. Say the customer's site is www.foo.com; we
give him a temporary address at foo.tmpzone.com where he can try our
services without changing his DNS records.
This is done by configuring foo.tmpzone.com in Nginx, which then
redirects to the backend server:
server {
listen 1.2.3.4:80;
server_name foo.tmpzone.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://4.3.2.1;
proxy_redirect http://4.3.2.1/http://$host/;
proxy_set_header Host www.foo.com;
}
}
The problem with this setup is that if one tries to access, say,
foo.tmpzone.com/blah, Nginx will issue a 301 redirect adding a trailing
slash, but the Location will be set to "www.foo.com/blah/". This seems
to be due to the proxy_set_header directive, which is needed for the
backend server to find the appropriate virtual host.
Is there any way to override this behavior and have Nginx redirect to
foo.tmpzone.com/blah/ instead? I tried turning on the
server_name_in_redirect directive, but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance,
Andre
